Cocktails and Books

Alicia Davis is reminded of all the reasons she had a crush on Travis when they were in college, but she also remembers what men like him do to women like her. She figures she'll get her one night with Travis and go on her merry way. But Travis changes the rules to their game and Alicia finds herself risking the one thing she can't afford to.
Travis and Alicia certainly were combustible, if the hotel room, hotel shower, her stairwell and bathroom can attest to. Why they never gave into the heat in college is unbelievable. Alicia was burned by her ex-husband and Travis by a married woman he thought was single. They both came into their "relationship" playing a game, which bugged me. Seemed that was something they should have done in college, rather than doing it as adults...especially given the past bad relationship. And while I could understand those past relationships tainting them, I think the game just fed into their insecurities and caused them to unnecessarily hurt the other person.
For a short 40 page read, it had some outstanding sex, but I wanted more story development between the Travis and Alicia. I think if I had that, I would have like the characters a bit more.
